The mission of Seattle's Office of Police Accountability (OPA) is to "ensure that the actions of Seattle Police Department employees comply with law and policy by conducting thorough, objective, and timely investigations, recommending improvements to policies and training, and engaging in collaborative initiatives that promote systemic advancements." The audio recordings contained in this video pertain to a complaint that was made about an SPD lieutenant. The complaint was ultimately sustained, and the lieutenant was suspended for five days. The complaint alleged that the lieutenant made unprofessional and biased comments regarding the Holocaust, Germans, and Jewish people. The comments were made on two separate occasions and were heard by employees of the Southwest Precinct. When information emerged during an interview that another employee failed to report the lieutenant's comments to OPA as required by SPD policy, a complaint was opened on that issue as well. The final case summary for 2017OPA-1202 can be found at http://tiny.cc/findings.
